stackables Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I didn't mind the prequels as much. The big issue was the casting and dialog. I thought most of the characters were cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the mess is also so bad that it is enjoyable (hating sand, losing the will to live, etc.) - these moments have actually become highlights.

Mathew Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Honestly out of all the prequels, the only one I walked out of the theater disappointed in was The Phantom Menace. I enjoyed the theatrical experience with the other two films. Even if 65% of Attack of the Clones is cringe worthy the final act works incredibly well. But they don't work as well at home on the small screen where the cheesy dialog and flat cinematography really show through. The sequels do their best to avoid the "Flash Gordon-esque" appeal of the prequels that they end up losing the heart of Star Wars.

Armor Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Attack of the Clones was saved by the battle of Geonosis at the end of the cringe. Revenge of the Sith was saved by the battle of Coruscant and the overall theater of war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KShine Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Plus, without the prequels we wouldn't have had the clone wars (tv series) - which was great. We also would never have had the characters (from the clone wars) brought in to save Rebels - which ended up being pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing as epic in the sequels. In fact movie scores in general suck nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
